If you look at my other comment, >>#72 you'll see I corrected my error. I accidentally typed RB20 instead of the RB26. I wasn't thinking when I typed it.

When car manufacturers discuss horsepower figures, they are measuring it at the crank, which is why I made the distinction. At the wheel, the R32 was still making 281 whp which translates to 320 hp at the crank.

The reason for it was because of a gentlemen's agreement between the Japanese auto manufacturers. It was the same deal with the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.

Depends on what trim you get. The GTR, with the RB20DETT, stated it made about 276 crank hp, but most owners find it makes about 320 crank hp. There's an interesting article about it floating around on Jalopnik written by Doug DeMuro.

No GTR trim of skyline ever used the RB20det ( no such thing as factory RB20dett). The GTR generations of R32,R33,R34 all used the RB26dett. You can only realistically use crank power when talking about sheer engine performance. When talking about what numbers the cars makes as a whole you really have to stick to what it puts down at the wheels which no stock GTR ever put out an excess of 300.
